 org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'customerController': 
Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'customerServiceImplementation'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: 
No qualifying bean of type 'com.digitalhotelmanagement.digitalhotelmanagement.service.CustomerService' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}


Description:

Field customerService in com.digitalhotelmanagement.digitalhotelmanagement.controller.CustomerController required a bean of type 'com.digitalhotelmanagement.digitalhotelmanagement.service.CustomerService' that could not be found.

The injection point has the following annotations:
    - @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)


Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'com.digitalhotelmanagement.digitalhotelmanagement.service.CustomerService' in your configuration.

CustomerService is just an interface which acts as a middleman between CustomerController and CustomerServiceImplementation, which actually performs operations with the database with the help of CustomerRepository.

I am trying to retrieve data from MYSQL database, i have total of 7 entities, almost having same logics with different functionalities.

Check this line:

@Service
public abstract class CustomerServiceImplementation implements CustomerService {...}

while it should be:

@Service
public class CustomerServiceImplementation implements CustomerService {...}

You have to implement CustomerService in a concrete class, not an abstract. Since, abstract classes can't be instantiated.
